Required Parts
• Rudder
• Fuselage
Step 1
Check the opening for the rudder cable in the fuselage.
Carefully remove the covering from the opening using a
hobby knife.

Step 6
From the top of the elevator, plug the control horn
screw through the hole and secure it with the provided
nut.
Step 7
Cut off the first section of one of the hinges. This is
done to clear the tube installed in the elevator.
Step 8
Glue the elevator hinges in place using the same
techniques used to hinge the ailerons. The shortened
hinges will be installed into the stabilizer towards
the
root.
Step 9
Install the elevator linkage using the same techniques
used to the aileron linkage.
Step 10
Repeat Steps 1 through 9 for the remaining stabilizer and elevator.
Step 11
Install the stabilizer using the same techniques for the wing installation. Secure the stabilizer
with screws at the bottom as shown.
Step 3
Center the elevator servo using the radio system.
Install a servo arm onto the servo.
Note: The technique for installing the control
horns in the elevators is similar to the aileron
control horn installation.
Step 4
Mark a line 3mm (1/8”) away from the servo arm and
parallel to the movement direction of the servo arm.
Measure rearward 10mm (3/8”) from the top of the
elevator bevel and make another mark using a pen. The
intersection of the two marks will be the position for the
control horn.
Step 5
Carefully drill through the elevator at the marked
position. Be especially careful when penetrating
through the top surface of the elevator, as it’s easy to
split out the wood and rip the covering.
Placing a wooden block under the elevator and drilling
slowly will prevent these problems.
Note: Make sure to drill the hole perpendicular to the
centerline of the elevator.
